A swan had to be rescued at a Scots golf club after a hook had went through her beak due to discarded fishing tackle. The female swan had become attached to a tree at Pumpherston Golf Club near Livingston on April 29 and comes just weeks after her mate had to be taken to the vet due to injuries from a fishing hook.

Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer, Hilary Innes, said: “We were alerted to the distressed swan at around 12pm on 29 April when a golfer on the course noticed the bird appeared to be struggling to get out of the water.“When we attended, we discovered that the swan had a hook through her beak which had become attached to a tree."“We were able to rescue the swan and remove the hook.
